Rock Star PR New Release Blast: An American Duchess by Sharon Page

Title: An American Duchess

Author: Sharon Page

Release Day!

About An American Duchess:Set on a crumbling English manor estate during the height of the Roaring Twenties, an American duchess must decide how much she's willing to risk for the life she truly desires…

It's 1922, and New York heiress Zoe Gifford longs for the freedoms promised by the Jazz Age. Headstrong and brazen, but bound by her father's will to marry before she can access his fortune, Zoe arranges for a brief marriage to Sebastian Hazelton, whose aristocratic British family sorely needs a benefactor.

Once in England, her foolproof plan to wed, inherit and divorce proves more complicated than Zoe had anticipated. Nigel Hazelton, Duke of Langford and Sebastian's older brother, is as austere and imposing as the family's ancestral estate. Still reeling from the Great War, Nigel is now staging a one-man battle against a rapidly changing world—and the outspoken Zoe represents everything he's fighting against.

When circumstances compel Zoe to marry Nigel rather than Sebastian, their heated quarrelling begets passion of another sort. But with Nigel unwilling to change with the times, will Zoe be forced to choose between her husband and her dreams?

1 comment:

I was thrilled to be able to write this book as it blends my favorite things—the 1920s, a stately English estate, a wounded hero with secrets, a strong American heroine who shakes up a staid (but gorgeous) duke. Plus I’m a huge fan of Downton Abbey and loved writing in that era.I’ll be posting up some quotes, fun facts, and I’m thinking up some giveaways for the days to come.

Here’s a small teaser excerpt from An American Duchess:

Her plucked brow arched. “You’re afraid to admit there is anything wrong with you. Good heavens, how could there not be? My brother died in France. He wrote letters home. He tried to be strong and stoic for a long time, then he began to fall apart. He wrote about how he couldn’t stand the shooting and the shelling, the mud, the wet trenches, the sickness any longer—”

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with me, Miss Gifford. The only things I brought back with me from the War are the scars on my face and on my soul. My mind is completely intact.”

She shook her head. He despised sympathy, but her soft, sad expression ladled it over him by the bucketful. “You can’t deny what you feel. You may actually have to face your emotions—”

“I do not have emotions. Now, return inside. Dance in whatever shocking way you want with Sebastian. But send Julia out to me. I am taking her home.”

What's it all about

New and Exciting News about What I'm Reading! Okay that is a bit farfetched. Still love reading romance novels. The type of sub-genre I like to read: Contemporary, Historical (I'm pretty open to anything), New Adult, and paranormal. I tend to steer clear of Women's Fic, Young Adult, and MM/FF, unless it's a compelling blurb. Of course their are reasons for that. Currently I'm an Avon Addict. That along is exciting news in itself. That's What it's all about.

About Me

Since it's time for an update. All right, I'm a bit of nut. We might say silly. I have family that might seem crazy, but I love them. To keep my sanity, I love to read hence the blog. I LOVE reading romance novels, why HAPPY ENDINGS. Case close. There are occasions I will get a hair brain idea and need to craft. When I'm not reading tend to smell like the pool, because I love swimming.
